We’re the BBC National Orchestra of Wales – your orchestra, here to share classical music with our audiences across Wales. Every year we pack our symphony orchestra into halls and theatres across the country, including Wrexham, Aberystwyth, Haverfordwest, Newtown, Bangor and Brecon. Yet again we’re bringing exceptional talent to the reaches of Wales – with Italian maestro Francesco Angelico, and rising star of tomorrow Ben Gernon conducting the Orchestra in two concert tours. Plus, don’t miss a rare chance to see the first lady of the trumpet, Tine Thing Helseth, as she puts her unique stamp on some favourites of the trumpet repertoire.

So wherever you are and whatever the season, BBC NOW is never too far from being a dose of home comfort.

Dyma ni i chi, Cerddorfa Genedlaethol Gymreig y BBC – eich cerddorfa chi, yma i rannu cerddoriaeth glasurol â’n cynulleidfaoedd o Fôn i Fynwy. Bob blwyddyn byddwn yn pacio’n cerddorfa symffoni i neuaddau a theatrau drwy hyd a lled y wlad, gan gynnwys Wrecsam, Aberystwyth, Hwlffordd, Y Drenewydd, Bangor ac Aberhonddu. Unwaith eto rydym yn dod â dawn dan gamp i gyrion Cymru – a’r maestro o’r Eidal, Francesco Angelico, ac un o sêr dydd a ddaw, Ben Gernon, yn arwain y Gerddorfa ar ddwy daith gyngerdd. Ac at hynny, peidiwch â cholli’r cyfle i weld blaenores yr utgorn, Tine Thing Helseth, yn rhoi ei stamp dihafal ar rai o ffefrynnau repertoire yr utgorn.

Felly lle bynnag yr ydych a beth bynnag y bo’r tymor, mae Cerddorfa’r BBC yng Nghymru bob amser yn ddigon agos i fod yn eli i’r galon.

There’s also the spirited Festive Overture by Shostakovich; and the melodrama of Tchaikovsky’s fourth symphony.

Dvorák’s New World symphony is just as popular now as it was at its New York premiere, brimming with both Czech folk dances and beautiful Native American melodies.

There’s also plenty for brass fans, with Copland’s Fanfare for the Common Man bound to set your hairs on end. Plus, the Orchestra are joined by first lady of the trumpet Tine Thing Helseth, bringing her trademark energy and enthusiasm.

Mae symffoni New World Dvorák yr un mor boblogaidd bob tamaid nawr ag yr oedd yn ei première yn Efrog Newydd, yn llawn hyd y fyl o ddawnsiau gwerin Tsiec ac alawon hardd Brodorion America.

Mae yma ddigonedd hefyd i selogion y pres, a Fanfare for the Common Man Copland yn siwr o godi gwallt eich pen chi. At hynny, daw blaenores yr utgorn Tine Thing Helseth at y Gerddorfa, ac i’w chanlyn yr egni a’r brwdfrydedd sy’n arwyddnod ei chanu.
